A dedicated TCP/IP port
You can configure one of the downlink ports of the CU2508-0022 as a TCP/IP port and connect a TCP/IP device directly to it. This TCP/IP device can also be a switch, for example, to connect the CU2508-0022 to a larger network.
From the point of view of the operating system and the TCP/IP device, it appears as if the TCP/IP device is directly connected to the Ethernet port of the PC to which the CU2508-0022 is connected.
The CU2508-0022 is completely transparent and forwards the TCP/IP frames unchanged in both directions.
Configuration
- 1. Set the desired port of the CU2508-0022 in the “Ports” tab of the “RT-Ethernet-Adapter” device. See chapter Basic configuration in the section “Ports”.
- 2. Configure the TCP/IP parameters of this port by configuring the TCP/IP parameters of the port to which the CU2508-0022 is connected in the operating system.
